Setting up my fiber studio

Since moving I have put the studio downstairs on the back burner. I never realized how much fiber stuff I had and I want to paint the walls a light gray and then the floor...then the floor? There are tiles down but I am not crazy about them...but what kinda floor do I want...oh well, I am not in a rush.

I have my Toika Table loom warped and I have a scarf in progress.

I have the warp loosen when I am not weaving.

Now if only I had the big room finished and all the other looms warped.

I have yarn in all the cubies, hanging on hooks, in boxes. Most of it is hand spun. I also got my shipment from the wool processor...I think 9 boxes of rovings.

A vest I want to make.

One corner of the large room will be my blogging, paper and photo area, and Evan's office when he wants to write.

A sad site...the tapestry loom is all ready to warp....the large Toika floor loom is not even close...oh well if it keeps snowing and the temp stays in the 20s...I might have a few months.
Danny has a 70 inch TV, a sofa, 2 recliners, a kitchen area in his man cave attached to my studio. I take my spinning wheel in and sit with him and watch football while spinning...I am blessed!

Grandsons melt your heart!

Life is ever changing and Danny and I had a major change in our lives in 2013. We sold the farm and I retired. Danny and I both were having health issues so we decided it was time to slow down and take life easy. We moved to a home with a 2 acre yard and numerous trees and flower beds.that sits on the peak of Fine Lake in Barry Co. in Michigan.....beautiful but much work. We have also been finishing the basement for a family room and my studio.
Danny and I go out regularly to see things of interest in our community and we travel to nearby towns and parks. Michigan is a beautiful place. We love the changing of the seasons here on the Peak of Fine Lake.

Psalm for the Day

Come back soon

As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? - 2 Samuel 22:31-33
